Out of Disk Space HELP!!!

[SJF16]

Hello,
We are currently running W2K Dominio Server 5.0.12 and have run out of disk space on the server. We purchased a new server installed W2K but only have Domino Server 5.0.13A to install. We plan on backing up and restoring the domino data directory to the new server. Will we run into problems because the Domino version are not the same? Any tips/suggestion on the move would be greatly appreciated!

Is there anyway you can upgrade your domino server first?

Also, you could "Ghost" the server's hard drive and move it to the new server. Once on the new server, you could upgrade, etc.

Take another stab at freeing up space on your original Domino Server. Most of us can attest to finding more folders/files to delete when you're in a pinch.

Unfortunately we do not have any formal Domino training and have never performed an upgrade before (consultants were paid $$$$)so we would really like to keep our original server in tact in the event that we need to go back to it. Ghosting would not work as the hardware is different. Do you really like to will be an issue if we copy of files to v5.0.13? We plan on doing it this weekend.
